Hospitality industry veterans, Max Trujillo and Matthew Weiss, get behind the scenes of North Carolina's burgeoning food and beverage culture. Hear from local chefs, sommelier's, distillers, farmers, brewers and the whole lot of them in the NC F&B podcast.

"Our intention is to create a behind-the-scenes conversation between industry professionals. Whether we are speaking with an advanced level sommelier about their wine program or a chef about breaking down an entire pig, we just want the conversation to be real, unedited and honest. The food and beverage world is a unique industry, and North Carolina's food scene is growing everyday.

Take a listen. We hope to entertain, teach and inspire while offering some specific information about the NC food scene."

We dedicate this week of the NC F&B Podcast to a 2-part
Series celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Triangle Wine
Experience, benefiting The Frankie Lemmon School.

In the early 1990's a group of friends gathered to celebrate
their love of wine and to raise money for the Frankie Lemmon
School. The gathering became a tradition that eventually resulted
in the formation of The Frankie Lemmon Foundation, a non-profit
organization that is the school's primary funding source.

Each year the foundation organizes a series of wine related
charitable events, including the Triangle Wine Experience to
generate proceeds, which fund the tuition-free school.

We speak with contributors of the event from legendary winemaker
Jim Clendenen of Au Bon Climat, New Orleans inspired local chef,
Sunny Gerhardt, owner of Lioco Matt Licklider and the married
winemaking team of RYME.
